Challenges and Results

Gunston Soccer Club Families,

Thank you to every Gunston Soccer Club member who participated in our challenges for Week One!

Our footskills challenges for Week Two will be posted below througout the week. Some of the challenges this week will be a little more complicated when you first try it. Please watch the video and start slowly until you can get the right rhythm and pattern. If you feel like you are not doing it properly, please rewatch the video. Even our Gunston coaches performed the challenges multiple times when they filmed the challenge videos!

We suggest practicing the skill a few times before deciding to record. If you are not happy with the first recording, feel free to try again and send us your best one. Please know that no video will be perfect but we do hope each player is trying their hardest and sending us something they are proud of. The most important thing is that you are getting touches on the ball, staying active during this break, and hopefully you all are having fun with it as well.

We've heard the feedback that some of these challenges have been a stretch for our younger U8 and below players, but it's been great to see them give each challenge their best effort! However if any challenge this week is appears to be too hard for our younger age group, please reach out to us so we can tailor the challenge appropriately.

Remember to send videos in before 9:00 pm on the day of the challenge, unless stated otherwise. Videos can be emailed, sent as a message on social media or tagged with Gunston Soccer Club on social media. If you are having trouble sending a video, please reach out to us through the email below or one of our social media accounts:

New this week, we are also going to keep track of performance across three age groups: U8 and below, U9 to U10, and U11 and up. Separate from the overall daily leaderboard, we will post daily leaderboards for each of these age groups, recognizing the outstanding footskills and video submissions from across the club! Weekly prizes will be awarded based on overall scores across all age groups.

Good luck!
